28 Feb 2015 05:53 PM

Nokia looks to: 10 times more cells, spectrum and efficiency to mobile networks by 2020; portfolio enhancements in LTE- and TD-LTE-Advanced, small cells, Single RAN; and Professional Services alongside demonstrations of future technologies such as LTE-U

Nokia Networks will show an evolution of technologies at Mobile World Congress 2015, which will allow mobile operators to serve huge data demands while maximising their investment in spectrum assets on an evolution path to ultra-dense networks.

By 2020 mobile networks will need to serve 1,000 times the traffic levels (compared with 2010) through a combination of technologies that deliver 10 times more cells, 10 times more spectrum and 10 times more efficiency.

This evolution will help operators prepare for 5G and the Internet of Things as well as build networks that expand the human possibilities of the connected world.

Marc Rouanne, Executive Vice President, Mobile Broadband at Nokia Networks, said: "Operators are preparing for the huge data growth that is coming with 5G and ultra-dense networks. We help them plan ahead to evolve their networks, making the most of their existing equipment as well as deploying the newest technologies to provide a seamless experience for mobile users across all access technologies and network layers."
